First and Second for Touring Sport Ducshop Ducati
Touring Sport Ducshop Ducati finished first and second in class and third and fourth overall in the GT2 race at Mid-Ohio. Championship leaders, Frank Shockley and Ryan Elleby, finished in second place while Red Bull rookie rider’s Huntley Nash and Corey Rech won the two-hour endurance race, leading the series race for its entirety.
Pole setters and reining champions, Frank Shockley and Ryan Elleby came away from the fifth round with an addition five point lead on their championship rivals Pair-of-Nines Kawasaki, with four points for second and an additional point for pole, increasing their lead to 23 points with four races remaining.
Team orders, casually set on Friday, were quickly dismissed when Corey Rech shot to the lead, setting blistering times to take the #38 bike to third overall. “I didn’t have the heart to tell the boys to slow the pace so the #77 bike could win,” said team owner Shockley after the race. Fast Frank, as he’s referred to, was not his usual fast self at the Lexington circuit, starting the stint on the championship leading #77 Ducati and handing it to Elleby in fourth position. It didn’t take long for Elleby to get the bike back into second place where he remained until the checkered flag.
The team was thrilled with the performance of the two Red Bull rookies, both new to the bike and new to endurance racing. Huntley Nash will compete in the AMA Supersport race tomorrow on a Yamaha.
The team heads next to Topeka KS for sixth round at Heartland Park.
